Rehabilitation Defined
To restore health following an accident, injury or illness.
Acute Rehabilitation: Early rehabilitation phase as soon as medically stable. Primary emphasis is to provide intensive physical and cognitive restorative services in the early months following injury. Typical stay 3-4 months (short term). Based in medical facility.
Sub-Acute Rehabilitation: Post-acute phase of rehabilitation. Capacity to treat for 6-24 months. Need not be hospital based. Stay based on demonstrated improvement.
Transitional Rehabilitation: To prepare for community re-entry. Non-medically based. Emphasis on functional skills for maximum independence. May be in group home or part of a continuum of rehabilitation center. Typical stay 4-8 months. Greater focus on compensation vs. restoration.
